Where will the series stand after 3 games in South Beach?

[JordansBulls]

To make a better series Mia up 3-2.

[shmeakone]

Yeah, I'm gonna go with Heat up 3-2 going to Oklahoma & they collapse & choke the last two games & Oklahoma wins in the best NBA finals ever. LeBron bashing goes crazy.

[The Skyhook]

OKC can't go into Miami and start games off slow. Miami will take advantage of this and make the Thunder's lives a living nightmare.

[Mule Tears]

Heat win 4-1 because OKC can't win on the road ^__^

[nykballa2k4]

I have a feeling that OKC may book tickets for a fishing trip after game 5.

ed malloy and joey crawford can't officiate 2 games in a row.

seriously, so far the refs are 2-0 this series.

the first crew had a OKC bias (with win% to back it up) and home team bias (same) and game 2 had 15-3 pro-heat danny crawford?

OKC up 3-2. Obviously the better team, adjustments need to be made

[The_Ghost_of_JB]

4-1 heat. Lebron is not going to let the heat lose this series.

[daam]

After three games? Miami up 2-1. After 5 games I think Miami will go back to Oklahoma with a 3-2 lead.

I don't see any team winning 3 in a row to be honest.

[slick_watts]

Miami up 3-2 is the most likely option, followed by OKC up 3-2 IMO. I'd be shocked if the Heat won out.

[Durant 35]

Those who picked thunder in 7 is this how you saw it before the series? Spilt after two games, Miami wins 2 out of 3 in Miami then thunder win last two?

For those saying OKC is "obviously the better team," what is that based on? In game 1, I think Miami controlled the lead for ~35 of the 48 minutes, and in game 2, controlled the lead for 47 of the 48 minutes --- and this is on OKC's home court. If you're the team trailing the vast majority of the time, on your home court, you're not really making a strong case for yourself as the inherently superior team.

This.

If Heat come out strong in game 3, leading most of the game once again(and winning of course) then it leans towards the fact that Miami has been better overall.

OKC's starting lineup is -22 in 27 minutes. The other 69 minutes OKC is +29. I think it's been clear that OKC has looked the better team when they match up small with the Heat.

It sounds like Scott Brooks is sticking with his starting line-up, based on what he said after game 2.

Probably. But matched up properly it's not a stretch to call OKC the better team. They have been outside of the starting lineup, which is not surprising.
